Fall Wireless Audio Lineup From LG Features Multipoint, Music Flow, LED Lighting
LG filled out its line of wireless audio products, pegging the arrival of the 2015 roster to the start of the football season. The Bluetooth speakers are positioned for use inside or outside the home with most of the lineup due for sale in October, said LG. The 20-watt LG Music Flow P7 ($149, available now) delivers up to 10 hours of play on a charge and can be controlled with LG’s Music Flow app. The Music Flow P5 ($99) comes in at half the power of the P7 with 8 hours’ battery life, said the company. Both speakers can be connected to a compatible LG Bluetooth-capable TV, and LG’s Multipoint features allows the speakers to link to multiple Bluetooth devices at once. Dual Play connects a mobile source device to two speakers simultaneously to boost sound output, said the company. The cylindrical SoundPop 360 (price to be announced), with 360-degree sound, offers 20 hours of battery life. Also in the audio portfolio: X-Boom Theater, combining a streaming Blu-ray Disc player, tower speakers, a subwoofer and 1,000 watts of power ($499). The X-Boom system can send audio from a CD or USB to Music Flow speakers in multi-room mode. Rounding out the lineup is the LG Cube, a 1,000-watt speaker with Multipoint Bluetooth and near-field communication pairing with smartphones and tablets. The $449 Cube has multicolor LEDs that pulse with the music, said LG.
